September 24th is Sally Rooney Day!

To honor the release of her newest novel, Page 158 Books is declaring Tuesday, Sept 24th Sally Rooney Day--we are celebrating with amazing swag as well as giveaways to two lucky pre-order customers.

Rooney’s fourth novel, Intermezzo, takes readers into the lives of two brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek.

For me this was easily her best book. Rooney’s writing is stellar, as always, but there is something about Peter and Ivan's story that immediately draws you in. You just have to root for these messy and complicated people as they figure out life and love.

From the publisher:

Aside from the fact that they are brothers, they seem to have little in common.

Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties—successful, competent, and apparently unassailable. But in the wake of their father’s death, he’s medicating himself to sleep and struggling to manage his relationships with two very different women—his enduring first love, Sylvia, and Naomi, a college student for whom life is one long joke.

Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother. Now, in the early weeks of his bereavement, Ivan meets Margaret, an older woman emerging from her own turbulent past, and their lives become rapidly and intensely intertwined.

For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude—a period of desire, despair, and possibility; a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking.

Sally Rooney is also the author of Conversations with Friends, Normal People and Beautiful World Where Are You.
